Zack lives in an unpleasant environment, the pressure of life, the trivialities of family relationships, the rigidity of work, the relationship with his girlfriend in name only, and the loss of the future, which makes him feel at a loss. Before reuniting with Gable's older brother Shaun one summer afternoon, Zack was still one of the overwhelmed, but a sense of responsibility that made him turn down college invitations, put up with his sister's bad feelings, and take care of her sister without complaint. Child Cody. Every day we shuttle between the burdens of work and family. Only occasional relaxation can bring him back to himself. In painting, he uses warm and cold colors to interweave his feelings; in the ocean, when the cold water beats, he may be able to temporarily forget the unpleasantness of life. At this time, the background music is low JAZZ, as well as dim sunlight and night.
After meeting Shaun again, although Cody's sentence "You are my daddy." kept him from letting go of his "father" responsibility, the moment he was with Shaun made him feel happy, and Shaun's tenderness and thoughtfulness , relaxed and chatty, irresistible charm, all make him find the object of conversation. The walkie-talkies of the lush period, the videotapes, surfing, and paintings of those days always have so many things in common that connect them together. Chatting, drinking, and playing, it was as easy as when I was a child, so in a slightly drunk atmosphere, Shaun kissed Zack, so natural and beautiful. But they were tired and quickly fell asleep. Zack, who woke up on the bed on the balcony the next day, looked at Shaun next to him. He suddenly woke up and left in a panic. He drove home with a dignified heart. The rushing music showed the struggle and fear in his heart, the early morning sun shone on his side face, and his expression was overwhelmed.
The suspicion of his sister, the serious emotional crisis with his girlfriend, Zack looked at himself in the mirror and didn't know what he wanted, or even what he was. He chose to escape, to escape Shaun, to use his girlfriend to prove himself, to warn himself not to cross the traditional boundaries, but to no avail. Heavy ocean, he sat between heaven and earth with an uneasy expression. On a lonely night, he kept pacing in the studio, anxiously restraining his desires, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he suddenly got up and left, and the music was joined by bleak guitar solos with passionate jazz drums.
He came to Shaun's door, the two looked at each other for a moment, without any words, Zack immediately stepped forward and hugged Shaun and kissed, the passion that had been suppressed for a long time burst out in an instant... Shaun kissed Zack's body wildly, it seemed that every Pores are crying out for relief, making blood boil. But the picture is only clicked so far, and the space it should have is reserved. The rendering of rock and roll, the body rolling on the bed, all make people feel great satisfaction, this is the strongest point of the director, this foreplay is simply home, just like the first night of a virgin!
The next day, woke up in Shaun's bed again, Zack who just said "I gotta go." and left, or Zack who was driving the car silently and thinking, the car was moving forward, he suddenly bit his lower lip and gradually smiled When he got up, the guitar sounded again, but it became brisk. With the brisk accompaniment, he couldn't help but slapped the steering wheel with joy. He painted the huge wall painting and stretched his smile in the sun. Living happily with Shaun, even with Cody, doesn't matter, Cody is sleeping inside the house and Zack and Shaun are hugging outside, making it feel like this is a real home.
However, the good times didn't last long, and soon my sister found out about them, and they were angry and argued pointlessly. The irresponsible performance of her sister made Zack sad and at a loss again. When he and Shaun were arguing in the car, Shaun said, "You're a coward!" Still didn't let Zack find a way out, and had no choice but to leave.
Mourning music, looking at the repainted wall paintings, recalling the scenes in bed, passionate kisses, eye-to-eye, playful, quarrelling in the car and parting...
In the end, it was Zack's girlfriend who made him recognize himself, and his girlfriend's understanding of him allowed him to regain his life. He decided not to refuse the invitation of the San Carlo Art Institute to be with Shaun. They finally hugged tightly again. And got the understanding of my sister who is going to leave, and started a new life with Cody and Shaun... I have
seen so many gay movies, "Siamese Love", "Brokeback Mountain", "Midsummer Light Years", "Lan Yu" ", "Happy Together", etc., this is really a rare happy ending, a rare Happy Ending. And the grasp of psychology is very accurate and subtle, and it has to be said that it is a classic masterpiece. Looking at the Internet, I found that many people compared it with "Love of Siam". I would say that they have the same beauty in common, but Shelter feels a little more real. The protagonist is also very handsome, no mother... which is very good. After watching it, I can almost change my view of love. . .
